It is
not necessary
to change,
survival
is not
mandatory.
- W. Edwards Deming



In times of change,
it is the learners
who will
inherit the earth
while the learned
will find themselves
beautifully equipped for a world
that no longer exists.

Finally! manage change - without stress


Real change can take from two to five years to happen. No wonder so many change efforts meet with limited success. Fortunately, certain principles apply in every change effort.

The Wiener Dog Paradigm introduces you
to these dynamics of change in a way you'll never forget!

What comes first in a change?
     Long before you and I can think about the good and bad points of a change, we feel. Learn to recognize and deal with feelings of awkwardness and uneasiness.

We all have our own little ways
     We think first about what we have to give up. Mary creates an awareness of comfort zones and how they defeat change efforts.

When the eagles are silent . . .
     How to sell change to people.

Real change occurs at glacial speed
     If real change takes two to five years to occur, learn how to help yourself and others handle change one bite at a time.

You can pull spaghetti but you can't push it
     You can't legislate a change. The largest majority of people are traditional and conservative. They only accept a change once it is in place and working. Let Mary show you how to work with people at different levels of readiness for change.

The Keepers of the Light
     Decrease anxiety by making sure people are supported once a change is underway. Learn the importance of providing moral, financial and material resources.

Habits is habits
     Even late in the change process, a change can fail. Keeping the vision in view is crucial. Habits fight to the death to stay alive. Learn how to fight back!
